New Administrator Appointed at Massachusetts-based Shriners Children’s Locations
Boston and Springfield, MA – Frances Marthone, Ph.D., RN, has been named the new administrator for Shriners Children’s Boston and Shriners Children’s New England in Springfield, Massachusetts. Marthone previously served as the director of patient care services at Shriners Children’s New England. She replaces H.

Marthone is looking forward to leading the way into the future of healthcare at the two Massachusetts-based locations. “I am thrilled for the opportunity to work in this new role as administrator for both Shriners Children’s locations in Massachusetts. I believe there is great opportunity to maximize synergies across the state to live our vision of providing care to more kids in more places,” Marthone added.
